After two years of marriage, it is all over for Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez.
This is Berry’s third divorce, and the couple likely got married because she was pregnant (they tied the knot in July 2013; she gave birth to a son named Maceo in October 2013)… so it’s we can’t really say we’re shocked by this development.
Still. We’re left wondering what, exactly, went wrong.
According to People Magazine, a major source of contention has been the couple’s living situation.
An insider tells the publication that Martinez has never been “happy” residing in Los Angeles, but Berry has no choice in the matter:
She’d love to raise Maceo and daughter Nahla in Eurupe… but she remains entangled in a custody battle over the former with Nahla’s dad, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry.
Then there’s the issue of Martinez’s short fuse.
“He has a violent temper,” People reports, with a couple of examples easy to cite:
Martinez got into a Thanksgiving Day brawl with Aubry in 2012; he was also pushed an airport employee with a baby seat earlier this year.
That employee is now suing the Martinez and Berry for $ 5 million.
In the end, a source tells People that the relationship between the two “fiery personalities” had “run its course.”
Both sides are seeking joint custody over Maceo and, while there are a few details on which they disagree in the dueling divorce papers, “they are keeping it amicable now,” the insider adds, concluding of Berry
“She is okay.”
This is Martinez first divorce, and the third for Berry, who wed baseball player David Justice in 1993 and singer Eric Benét in 2001.
She’s often blamed a bad relationship with her father for her many ongoing issues with men.
